Richard Abelson — The Gateway Pundit Oct 7, 2022<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Coming on the same day feeble-brained puppet Joe Biden warned of \u201cnuclear Armageddon,\u201d Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for \u201cpre-emptive strikes\u201d on Russia \u201cso that they\u2019ll know what will happen to them if they use nukes\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking via video link<\/a> to the Australian Lowy Institute<\/a>, Zelensky made his seemingly insane comments in response to a question from Lowy executive director Michael Fullilove.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President, in your remarks you mentioned nuclear blackmail,\u201d Fullilove said. \u201cMr. Putin told us the other day that he\u2019s not bluffing. So may I ask you, do you believe that the likelihood of the use of Russian nuclear weapons against Ukraine has risen, and what more do you want NATO to do to deter Russia from using nuclear weapons?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zelensky replied that NATO should \u201celiminate the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what is important, I once again appeal to the international community, as I did before February 24 \u2013 we need pre-emptive strikes, so that they\u2019ll know what will happen to them if they use nukes, and not the other way around,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t wait for Russia\u2019s nuclear strikes, and then say, \u2018Oh, since you did this, take that from us!\u2019 Reconsider the way you apply pressure. This is what NATO should do \u2013 reconsider the order in which it applies pressure [on Russia].\u201d<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov<\/a> called Zelensky\u2019s comments \u201ca call to start a world war\u201d which would lead to \u201cunforeseeable disastrous consequences\u201d.<\/p>\n

Zelensky\u2019s office had to backtrack and claimed he was not calling for a \u201cpre-emptive\u201d nuclear strike on Russia.<\/p>\n

Tucker Carlson had already noted in September how the Ukrainian government seemed to be calling for a NATO nuclear first strike on Russia. Mainstream media continue to portray Russia as responsible for the ongoing insane nuclear escalation.<\/p>\n
